Senator marco rubio, you know, hes a noshow in the u. S. Senate. Ted cruz, he comes in bible high, bible high, puts the bible down, then lies to you. Its unbelievable. Well, a pretty stark contrast between the two frontrunners in the race for the white house as they talk about their rivals. On the republican side, the fight for that nomination is becoming less right now donald trump remains on top with 392 delegates, about a third of those needed to clinch the nomination. Ted cruz had a strong showing however with double digit victories this weekend in kansas and maine. Also finished a close second to trump in both kentucky and louisiana. Cruz is also second in the delegate count cutting trumps lead to fewer than 100. Despite a landslide win in puerto rico, marco rubio remains a distant third when it comes to delegates. On the democratic side, Bernie Sanders won big in kansas, maine, and nebraska, but Hillary Clinton took louisiana and more delegates this weekend. Her overall count including the superdelegates puts her at 1,100, more than twice as many as sanders. For both sides the big prize tomorrow as far as delegates are concerned, michigan.

The city has changed back to its old water supply and is taking steps now to control the lead. Changes are coming to verizon as that Company Settles a lawsuit. Verizon will pay more than 1 million to the fcc over the use of whats known as super cookies. Super cookies track websites visited by cell phone users and deliver targeted ads.

Its going to get very, very nice. I mean, as nice as today was, as warm as today was, its going to get better the next couple days. Lets show you whats happening outside right now. We have seen some sunshine, some clouds have moved in too. Were going to be dealing with these the next couple days. Right now 65 degrees. Winds out of the southwest at 13 miles per hour. A very nice afternoon, and its evening. Look back to the west. 70 in cumberland, maryland. 60 in culpeper. Warm everywhere. Annapolis 49, right along the water is always a little cooler. You go inland a mile and its on the warmer side. Storm team4 radar, nothing to show you, no rain, no snow, and i think effectively were done with the snow for the season. Satellite and radar showing the clouds that weve got coming in. Just some scattered clouds but i want to show you the pattern were moving into. Notice all the rain and snow out towards california. They need this, of course. Always hoping el ninos will be a drought buster for california. They will get a lot of rain in the next couple days. This system dives all the way down into mexico. Very, very rare for a storm system to do that, and because it does that, it brings a lot of very warm air out of the gulf right up towards our region, and we are talking about the potential for some recordbreaking temperatures. So as warm as its going to be here, its going to last for a while plenty of sunshine right on through thursday. A mixture of mid to high level clouds, but really a lot of sun too. And, yes, winter is over. I know that makes a lot of you happy. Others saying i want one more snow. I could use one or two more snows, but the weather is looking pretty nice. Ill take 70s any day of the week. Warmest in months, thats for sure. Tomorr
